The luster in Narukami's eyes went back.
"No!" The voice yelled in despair as it continued, "do not hear it! It is the sound of the devil! You must not!"
Narukami did not bother as he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and exuded it slowly.
"I'm pathetic," he said with a low voice. It was filled with agony and pain.
But then, he smiled as he opened his eyes and looked at the family of his past lives.
"I don't know who you are, or why you want me to live in the past so badly. But I'm impressed you almost tricked me, just almost."
Narukami shortly paused before continuing, "but you did not expect that you're going to get away with it without an injury, right?"
Narukami then clenched his fist as his surroundings broke like a mirror.
"What are you doing? Stop it! You're going to regret this, you hear me!"
"What are you talking about? I already regret my decision after hearing your words. Doing this is a way to let that regret in peace. I would not feel relaxed if I'm not doing this."
Narukami pulled his hand to him and then his environment turned to pieces like mirrors being hit by a bat. Its fragments fell to the ground with a bounce.
His environment then turned to white. The entire scene was as white as snow with no end.
"Why are you so willing to return to your life?" A white figure before him asked. This figure had no face, mouth, and nose. Just a man painted with white.
"Because it's exciting. Although the world is designed to break your heart, a place where calamities, either small or big hit you, is a place where it's rotten to the core.
"It's an exciting place where you never get bored. The calamities you got there too are no different than fighting a dragon or mighty beast."
"... Are you really me?" The white figure temporarily turned silent before saying so. He also chuckled when he ended his sentence.
Narukami smiled.
"You are me. But the one from a long, long, and long time ago. Notice the three repetitions?"
The white figure suddenly changed to someone else. It was him when he reincarnated for the first time, his very first look in this world.
"How nostalgic seeing that face," Narukami said. After he said so, his other figure rippled like water before disappearing.
Before that, however, he smiled, "you've changed. Good luck finding out our memories."
"Yeah! Leave it to me!" Narukami gave him a thumbs up. After seeing him vanish like a vapor, Narukami retracted his gaze to his right hand.
I don't know if I've changed. It does not feel like it though, I feel I'm still the same. I see, I've changed without noticing it. Tsk, if not for that golden brooch stealing my expression, I probably would be the most energetic person in All Beyond. It feels sucks to not be able to form any expressions, Narukami sighed.
"Regardless, what happened earlier made me realize how far I've walked and struggled. It will be pointless if I stop now," Narukami stopped as he clenched his fist tight, "that's why I have to complete every goal in my mind!"
His eyes were brimming with determination.
"First of all, I need to tell the closest people I know about the truth of this world and All Beyond. Second, gather powerful Sorcerers to fight against All Beyond.
"Third, erasing this world's mysticism. Sorcerer, Anomaly, Foul energy, spiritual energy, Level, and many others. I must erase them and turn this world back to normal!"
Although the last goal sounded almost impossible, it was not completed. For Narukami, he knew how to do that. It was just that he needed a certain tool.
With that, Narukami nodded satisfyingly, "Time to wake up."
.
.
.
Opening his eyes, what greeted him was Ryu's panicked face. He could see Ryu through his half, opened eyelids.
"Narukami! Narukami! Wake up!" Ryu yelled worriedly and his eyes were teary. He also shook his body to and fro.
"Five more minutes," Narukami deliberately said as he changed his body position.
"No way! He's going to die in five minutes? Nooo!" He mourned as he looked at the sky but then, he lowered his gaze as he was shocked, "Wait, did he just turn his body?"
Ryu was mad with joy as his body greatly weakened, "thank goodness…"
It was quite tense of him when he woke due to crazy spiritual energy fluctuation and the source of it was Narukami.
He approached him and noticed his weak life force. That moment was extremely tense. Ryu thought he would lose someone important again.
"How long have I passed out?" Narukami asked.
"I don't know, I just woke up." Ryu shrugged his shoulders.
"I see, I'm going out." Narukami got up from his seat.
"You go ahead, I still need to recuperate here. The healing effects of your spatial world are amazing! It's no different than taking a drink of medium-grade healing potions!" Ryu said excitedly with a rather high voice.
"I get it, I get it so lower your voice. It's noisy."
Ryu wasn't bothered by his seemingly harsh remarks. He instead smiled and closed his eyes as he sat in a lotus position.
His smile gradually vanished as he was focused on recuperating.
Narukami left his spatial world without a world. His body disappeared and reappeared at where he entered the spatial world.
He looked around and noticed the surroundings were heavily destroyed. Barren trees, scorching earth, mountains crumbled, lakes dried, not a single thing left.
"A sign of fierce battle between Sorcerer experts," Narukami narrowed his eyes. He did not know who these experts were so it would be bad if they saw his face.
He did not want to attract much attention with his real face. It might attract unnecessary attention and problems and so, he changed to a person that was not standing out.
However, standing here would undoubtedly lead to many suspicions. He was in the middle of what appeared to be the stage of a great battle after all.
Therefore, he teleported himself to a secluded position and after that, he lowered his presence to its limit.
Right after he did, Narukami walked carefully as he extended his spiritual energy, scanning the area, trying to pick up something.
A few minutes later, he got something. Narukami with slow steps approached it and found a badly injured person.
It was a woman with stunning beauty with fox ears and had five tails but her grave injuries and the pool of blood beneath her, Narukami did not have the time to praise her beauty and quickly came to her side to assist.
"Hey! Are you alright?" Narukami asked and felt dumb. The woman was near her death's door!
"A human?" The woman weakly said as she opened her eyes.
"Run, human. This is not a place for you to be."
Despite her warning, Narukami's mind wandered to somewhere else. If this is a fairy tale, I would probably be the lucky protagonist who found an injured woman, took her home, and took care of her like she was my wife, right?
"What's your name?" Narukami asked.
"Manya," she said before her eyes closed tightly.
"Manya?" Narukami's eyes narrowed as he felt like he had heard the name before. Digging his memories, he got it.
"Inari Ōkami-sama's Blessed? Why would She send one? Is it to face Armageddon's vessel?"
Inari Ōkami was a well-known goddess in Japan. She's the kami of foxes, fertility, rice, tea, and sake, of agriculture and industry, of general prosperity and worldly success, and one of the principal kami of Shinto.
She was quite powerful despite Her role in this world having no relation with power.
If Narukami saved one of Her Blessed. She might owe him a favor and getting one from a god would be helpful for him.
Furthermore, Amaterasu and Inari's relationship was similar to that of master and subordinate.
Narukami wanted to help the woman lying weakly but the problem lies here. He could help her by letting her drink his blood but was that allowed?
He was a vampire and his blood had a bit of Foul energy while the woman before him was a pure-blooded mythical beast.
Narukami pondered for a short moment and chose to grab a rather high-quality healing potion.
Unfortunately, the woman's lip was tightly shut and so Narukami chose another way. He poured the potion into his mouth and did mouth-to-mouth so she could drink the potion.
Narukami felt pain as he used a high-quality potion on another person. But what he was doing right now could be considered as compensation.
He was no pervert but that thought just came naturally.
"Master, what are you doing?" A woman's voice came from behind him. Narukami quickly got away from the woman and acted like a husband getting caught cheating on his wife.
He swept his lips with his sleeves as he turned his head to the source.
"It's you, Hikari."
"Master, if you want to. You can do it with me," Hikari abruptly offered herself and then continued before Narukami had some misunderstanding.
"That woman is Inari-sama's Blessed. If you get caught by others you're kissing her, even my Lady cannot save you.
"Therefore, to prevent you from doing the same thing to every unconscious girl out there, I'm willing to sacrifice myself.
"I am, after all, your servant, your slave, your subordinate, and your only woman that never betrays you."
"I think you misunderstood what person I am.. At any rate, I'm touched but I'm more impressed you could say an embarrassing line like that with a straight face," Narukami said.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
The luster in Narukami's eyes went back.
"No!" The voice yelled in despair as it continued, "do not hear it! It is the sound of the devil! You must not!"
Narukami did not bother as he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and exuded it slowly.
